Parts Hi I have the Eurkea steam cleaner model 2450 and was wondering how do you take the front part off where you can see the water sucking up from carpet so this can be cleaned. Also I think the spring in the part that holds the water has come off another part is this able to be fixed or can I just purchase a new water holding tank and if so where?
Thanks

I am trying to use the hand tool but the suction isn't working. It spits out the soap and water but it isn't sucking up the water. The machine is brand new so I don't know if I am doing something wrong? I followed the instructions thoroughly.

It's brand new - just out of the box! Noticed the dirty water tank is bone dry. There is no suction! The front removable nozzle seems to be loosely attached.. The metal clip doesn't seem to hold it tight. Not sure if that is the problem. But I have a very wet rug! Suggestion?

It sounds as if it wasn't assembled correctly. Was it already put together when you purchased it? It sounds like the Brush Bar Belt never got put on.Let me know if you need more help.Jim ...

Lost Suction This is my second hoover steamvac and i am having the same problem with my new one as i did with the old one that i tossed out. I have used it about 12 times and it worked great the first 6 times... Now i'll empty a full tank of water and only half will get sucked back up. I have tried taking it apart and cleaning and also the rubber seal had some gaps so i sealed those thinking that it was leaking air from there...can anyone help? I am so close to chucking this one and buying somet

Usually when there is no suction, one cause is the lid to the recovery tank is not on all of the way in the back. Also if you have that foam filter on the underneath side of the recovery tank lid, it needs to have a 1/4 in or so gap from the top of ...

Water/carpet cleaner applying o.k. Suction on the "floor" does not work. Suction on the hand tool works somewhat, but water is not collecting in the bucket. There is suction coming from the floor but water is not going into the bucket. It does not appear to be clogged because I can feel with my hand that air is flowing from the floor. The water is not being sucked into the bucket.

I have the Bissell 2x proheat. There is no water being sucked up from the bladder and the cleaning solution is not being sucked in either in order to get to the carpet. On water rinse the carpet gets wet but I'm not seeing any water going through the clear front piece. I live in Harvest Alabama. Where can I take it to get fixed if it needs it?

Bex bissell proheat protech model 7920-e is not suctioning water up, have had new parts- example new water holder,new dial for controlling wash options , also has been in for repair but dont think they knew what they were doing.

Unbeknownst to me, someone took the bag out of my Kenmore Progressive vacuum and failed to replace it. I have been vacuuming without a bag for months, and today the vacuum stopped sucking. When I opened up the front to replace the bag, tons of dirt and dust came pouring out. I thoroughly cleaned the vacuum, put in a new bag, but still no sucking power. Just dust coming from the rear vents where one of the filters is. Is the vacuum ruined, or is it a simple solution of buying a new filter?

Suction Problem I just borrowed the Hoover Steam Vac Deluxe w/ 5 brush agitator from my neighbor and it worked ok for the first few minutes, although the suction would stop and go. When I had enough water to dump I did it and when I put it back on it no longer sucked the water up from the carpet. She admits to having it for 15 years, but why did it have to break on me. Makes me look as though I did it!

Check and make sure the dirt water tank is properly on if it it is chech inside the lide to make sure the red stopper is not stuck to the top this will cut off the suction ...

My bissell carpet cleaner will not suck up the water. There is suction but the water is not being sucked up

Poor suction...continued Wow, thanks for answering so quickly! To answer your question, yes, there is suction at the screen, but it is very weak. I keep that screen clean. As a side note, I noticed that when I remove the top clear plastic cover (that would be part # 37 on the diagram, as far as I can tell) there is decent suction coming from the intake there--part 36? 30? it's hard to tell. But with the cover on, I feel no suction (from where it sucks up the water directly from the carpet),

Wish I had it in my shop, it is hard to figure your problem. I do know that you must have something out of place and you may have to take it apart to find it. You may feel some suction there at the top of the clear nozzle, but maybe it isn't strong ...
Hoover F6212-900 / F6215-900 SteamVac Agility Upright Vacuum

Suction button Although my Hoover Spin scrub is working perfecting dispensing the solution, when I go to suck up the solution from the carpet--I am having problems with the RED suction button that keeps popping up. I have to stop the cleaner and lift up the dirty water container to break the suction. Ive tried cleaning the netting that is encased around it, but still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

We have bissell pro heat and I have put new belts on and took off the top plastic cover I blew out the lines and I still can't get it to pump water or solution. The red little spinner flow indicater does'nt get water, if I pour water into it it runs out the front. I guess I don't know what else to do. The machine worked fine the last time we used it about 6 months ago. Any suggesttions?

Did you check and make sure the belt is still on right? They do come off from time to time.There are like 6 long screws holding the top cover to the bottom. The are real pain in the behind to put back together once you take them off. T ...

No suction i have a hoover supreme wind tunnel vac and its relatively new and the suction, well......sucks. It wont pick anything up! I am extremely frustrated! I picked up a ball of fuzz off the carpet and held it under the vacuum and it still wouldn't **** it up. I then shoved the fuzz up INTO the vacuum. It fell right back out. I may as well not even vacuum. Please help!

Our problem with our Rainbow E Series is that it has sucked water up and blown it out through the lower part of the hepa filter, making the filter wet and dirty. This had happened before and the repair shop did not see any problems with the machine, so we replaced the filter and were very carful not to overfill the tank and to change the water often. Now it has happened again and ruined another filter. Do you know what could be causing this issue? Can the filter be cleaned or will a new one be

Suction loss on bissel proheat 2x. will suction up water on bare floor but barely sucks up on rug. I have cleaned everything I can but just not doing the trick

My Bissell 9200 is not sucking the water into the dirty water resevoir. 1. The gasket on the clear-view seems fine. 2. The suction power just doesn't seem powerful enough (feeling with my hand). 3. The brushes turn fine and belt is fine (not sure if that even matters for this issue). Any help appreciated. Thanks, - Matt

I cleaned one day the next time the suction is sucking down instead of sucking up. Will not pick up the water off the carpet.

Greetings from GoVacuum,\015\012\015\012It sounds as if you may have a loose seal where the dirty water solution tank sits. \015\012\015\012This is a circular gasket that can be seen only when the dirty water tank has been re ...
Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 SpinScrub Upright Vacuum

I have a new Hoover Dual V steam vac that I bought from a neighbor who only used it once. I have only used it once since then and it worked great. This time, because I am pregnant, I bought some non-toxic cleaner that was much thicker than the very watery Hoover soap. This vac has a wash option and a rinse option. The rinse option works (sprays and sucks properly), but the wash cycle doesn't at all-neither soap nor water comes out. Nothing comes out, but it still sucks. I took everything o

Here's what I did. On the top of the water bucket there is a red oval screen, remove and clean the screen and replace. Also, next to the screen is an oval opening which meets up with a black oval gasket on main unit. Inspect the gasket and replace if ...
Bissell 1698 PowerSteamer ProHeat Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum

I have a new STEAM VAC Dual V All Terrain Carpet and Hardwood Cleaner.
I have used it once and it worked well.
Now, the second time, I have no water return.
I checked the tank location, the brushes are moving slowly (but the plastic surrounding around the brushes moves as well ??) Water is coming out. There is hot air blowing out, but there is no air suction.
What is wrong?

Wet pickup has no suction. Dirty water stays on floor. I tipped it over and held a tissue in front of the wheels to see if the Floormate had any suction whatsoever; it does not. What now?

Okay, I too had the same problem with the water. I read that darn manual again and realized that I hadn't clicked the filter cover on tight. Wallla! The tank fits better and it works like a charm! Who knew? ...
